What can AI actually do
on your WordPress site?

Three setup tiers. All built on MCP — the open protocol AI CLIs speak. The more you install, the more your AI assistant can do, with one-click undo on every change.

Power User MCP + plugin + Custom PHP on

Flip one toggle in Settings and your AI can run any PHP code. Massive power, real risk — for dev and staging only.

Setup 1 toggle
Risk High on production
Includes Everything above
  • Run any custom PHP code on the site
  • Deep inspection of every active hook
  • Edit theme functions live, with safe rollback
  • Hot-debug any plugin without redeploying
  • Run custom database migrations safely
  • Live error tracing across the request cycle
  • Custom one-off scripts (cleanup, fix-ups, audits)
  • Inspect every transient and option
How to turn this on
About the Power User tier: turning on Custom PHP lets the AI execute any code on your site. We recommend keeping it OFF on live customer sites and turning it ON only on a dev or staging copy. Standard and Full Toolkit are safe on production — every write goes through the Change Ledger with one-click undo.
How it works

From zero to AI-assisted in 3 steps

1

Install one of the AI CLIs

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini — anything that speaks MCP. We provide a single install command for each.

2

Pair your WordPress site

Click "Generate pair token" in the plugin's Setup page. Paste the prompt to your AI. Done in ~60 seconds. No App Password to copy manually.

3

Talk to your AI

Ask in plain English: "Create a landing page", "Fix the slow query on the homepage", "Update Yoast meta on all product pages". Every change is logged + reversible.
